I don't believe the issue is entirely the duty finder, more so the massive gap in dps roles Vs tank & healer.

I feel that is driven by the lack of tanking and healing classes/jobs.

Also, the wait time isn't that bad when compared relatively to other MMO's automated group finding systems. If you're a dps, unless you're well connected socially, expect a wait.

I'm a healer and I'm 25 minutes into earl level instance que. I was finding groups faster as dps yesterday, anyone else getting this?

Agreed! I usually do dungeons/guildhests/trials with members of our FC and even in parties of two, as long as one of us is a healer or a tank, we usually get an instance straight away.

Even before the maintenance this was the case, there was just a wait to actually get an instance (as there's a limited amount of instances available).

Not sure if people realise, but once you've registered in duty finder you CAN actually change class to something else which you wait. When the box pops up to tell you it's ready you won't be able to join straight away, but you have those 45 seconds to change back to the valid class. Sorry if that's of no help, but thought it was worth mentioning!
